Thankfully we have people who think like you, so nobody uses D 
for gamedev, despite that category being the most popular in 
every stores

And that will keep growing year after year

Phones being the most popular one, constrained devices where 
every bit of memory wasted is prohibited, same for CPU cycles

But yes, we got minecraft in Java, that got rewritten in C++ 
because it sucked and couldn't get proper console, not even 
devent mobile release

But yes, we should trust the people who don't write games

Who better than them to dictate how games should be created :D :D

The way to go!

Use GC, they say

Use 3x memory they say

But phones are constrained devices

- Tell them to download more ram!!!!!!!!!
